Long Weekend. Full Table.

Labor Day weekend calls for the good stuff: good people, cold drinks, and a serious spread on the table. Pick your meats, choose your sides, and we’ll handle the smoking. Whether you’re feeding the whole backyard or just a few folks who showed up “for a minute,” our Hustler and Big Boss Packs have you covered. Available Saturday, Sunday, and Monday only.

Back to School Barbeque 

Homework can wait. Dinner is handled. Two days a week we take the family meal off your plate, so you can take care of everything else. No planning, no prep, no pile of dishes at nine o’clock. Everything comes off the pit the way it always has: slow-smoked over California oak, right here on West Market Street. Now through the end of September at Salinas City BBQ.

🍎 Kids Eat Free Monday
One free kids’ meal with any sandwich or meal purchase. Dine in only. Grab a chair, let the kids pick, and start the week with somebody else doing the cooking.

📚 Family Pack Fridays
20% off all Family Packs, any size. Dine in only. Enough to feed the whole table, so bring the whole crew and settle in.

Both offers run 11 AM to 9 PM, dine in only. Not valid on takeout, online, or catering orders.

Breakfast Taco Week 🌮

Breakfast is better with barbeque. Start your morning with a warm flour tortilla, an over-easy egg, salsa ranchera, and your choice of meat.

From August 24–30, order breakfast online between 7:00 AM and 11:00 AM, enter promo code BRISKET at checkout, choose your favorite meat, and leave the breakfast to us. Limit one free taco per guest.

You Celebrate, We Serve

Holiday parties and end-of-year get-togethers have a way of getting busy fast. If you’d rather not spend the night refilling trays or answering “where’s the sauce?” our staffed buffet is the move. We bring the crew, set everything up, keep the line stocked, and make sure your guests are taken care of from start to finish.

You keep the stories going. We’ll keep the plates full.

The Turkey They Wait For All Year

Our honey-brined birds are smoked low and slow until they’re tender, juicy, and ready to earn a spot in the middle of your table. Pick one up hot and ready, bring it home, and take all the credit—we won’t tell. Pre-orders begin October 5th, and these birds have a habit of selling out by November, so don’t wait too long.

Thanksgiving Day pickup only

It’s another great day to be together

When the beer is cold and the pits are hot, people tend to gather. That’s a truth as old as time, and one that’s near and dear to our hearts. Grab a friend, a beer, and a seat, and join us in celebrating the power of fire and time in the most authentic way possible.

We ordered brisket & chicken for 225 people for our wedding and to this day, our friends and family keep talking about how much they loved the brisket. The staff were friendly, communicative, and flexible
